AUSTIN WARREN NEWS

Cut from big-league camp The Mets optioned Warren to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

Impact Warren spent the 2024 season in the Giants organization, seeing most of his action at the Triple-A level while giving up two earned runs on nine hits and five walks over his 10.2 innings in the big leagues. After being claimed off waivers by the Mets in January, Warren is once again part a 40-man roster, but he'll still profile as an organizational depth arm and may not be in line for an extended run in the majors in 2025 unless New York's reliever corps is hit hard by injuries.

Claimed by Mets The Mets claimed Warren off waivers from the Giants on Wednesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Warren, who turns 29 in February, yielded two runs with a 7:5 K:BB over 10.2 innings with the Giants in 2024. He'll compete for a spot in the Mets' bullpen but is likelier to wind up at Triple-A Syracuse to begin the season.

Scrubbed from 40-man roster The Giants designated Warren for assignment Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Sam Huff, who was claimed off waivers. Warren made six appearances for the Giants in 2024, allowing two runs with a 7:5 K:BB over 10.2 innings. He and the Giants had avoided arbitration with a one-year contract agreement back in November.

Settles with San Francisco The Giants and Warren avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Friday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Warren had qualified for arbitration for the first time as a Super 2 player. The right-handed reliever made six appearances for the Giants this season, allowing two runs with a 7:5 K:BB over 10.2 innings of work.

Optioned to Sacramento The Giants optioned Warren to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Warren made three appearances with the Giants after being recalled from Triple-A on Sept. 6. Over that span, he allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two across 4.2 innings. The move makes room on San Francisco's 28-man roster for the reinstatement of Jordan Hicks (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list.

Optioned to Sacramento The Giants optioned Warren to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Warren made three outings with the Giants since being recalled from Triple-A on Sept. 6. Over that span, he allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two across 4.2 innings. The move makes room on San Francisco's 28-man roster for the reinstatement of Jordan Hicks (shoulder) off the 15-day injured list.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back with big club The Giants recalled Warren from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

Impact The move corresponds with Kyle Harrison being placed on the 15-day injured list due to left shoulder inflammation. Warren made his lone major-league appearance Aug. 28 against the Brewers, during which he pitched two scoreless innings while allowing one walk and one hit. Across 23 outings in Triple-A this season, Warren has a 4.91 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 22 innings. Warren will be available out of the Giants' bullpen for Friday's game against the Padres, per Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Giants optioned Warren to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

Impact The Giants needed to make room on the pitching staff for Mason Black, who was recalled to start Saturday's game, and Warren will end up as the odd man out of a roster spot. The 28-year-old threw two scoreless innings in his season debut Wednesday versus Milwaukee and could be a candidate to return to San Francisco down the stretch as bullpen depth.

Recalled from Triple-A Warren was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site.

Impact Warren's last stint in the bigs was in 2023 for the Angels before undergoing Tommy John surgery. After signing with the Giants in February, he has recovered and healed with Triple-A Sacramento. In Triple-A for the season, he has a 4.95 ERA, but was been able to lock it down in his latest stretch. The 28-year-old has not allowed an earned run in his last eight outings and and has held a 1.54 ERA since July 14. In a corresponding move, Jordan Hicks was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation.

AUGUST 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Activated, optioned to Triple-A The Giants reinstated Warren (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Warren has been on the injured list all season while working his way back from a Tommy John procedure he underwent in May 2023. He has been playing in rehab games at Triple-A since June 18, and although he's now fully recovered, he'll remain in Sacramento after allowing 10 runs (nine earned) in just 8.1 innings. He will reclaim a spot on the 40-man roster, though he'll likely need to turn in better results in the minors before having a chance to join San Francisco.

JULY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting mound work Warren (elbow) will throw a 30-pitch bullpen session Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's the next step for Warren as he continues the long road back from Tommy John surgery. He's expected to be sidelined until around midseason.

MARCH 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to 60-day IL Warren (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list Sunday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact The move to the long-term IL was an eventuality, as Warren underwent Tommy John surgery last May and isn't expected to be available until midseason. The right-hander joined the Giants on a one-year deal last week and has a 3.55 ERA in 32 big-league appearances for his career.

Transferred to 60-day IL Warren (elbow) was transferred from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list by the Angels on Sunday.

Impact Warren is removed from the 40-man roster, and it opens up a spot for Ben Joyce after Joyce's contract was selected from Double-A Rocket City on Sunday. Warren is not expected to be ready to return until the middle of the 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in the middle of May.

MAY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes surgery Warren underwent surgery on his right elbow May 17, per MLB.com.

Impact Warren was diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in early May, and Tommy John surgery was the recommended course of action. The righty reliever is expected to be out until sometime near the middle of next season.

MAY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Done for season Warren (elbow) will require Tommy John surgery, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact After landing on the 15-day injured list last week, Warren joins Jose Quijada (elbow) on the list of Angels relievers who will miss the rest of the season due to Tommy John surgery. A move to the 60-day IL will surely come within a few days, and Warren figures to be out until midway through the 2024 season.

MAY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shut down from throwing Warren (elbow) has been shut down from throwing for four-to-six weeks after receiving the results of his MRI, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Warren's MRI came back cleaner than Jose Quijada (elbow), but he's still going to be unable to throw for at least a month and very possibly more. The right-hander will then need a rehab assignment, and if all goes well he could be a middle-innings option for the bullpen near the end of June.

MAY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured list The Angels placed Warren on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right elbow discomfort, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Warren will miss at least two weeks while recovering from an elbow injury he picked up while playing catch prior to Tuesday's game against the Athletics. Chase Silseth will take his place in the bullpen. Warren will be shut down from throwing and reevaluated in the coming days.

APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heading to injured list again Warren is being placed on the 15-day injured list by the Angels before Wednesday's game with the Athletics with an undisclosed injury, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Warren felt something while playing catch before Tuesday's game and was unavailable for the contest. The right-hander will go on the injured list prior to Wednesday's contest with Chase Silseth being recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding movie.

APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Selected by Halos Warren was called up to the majors by the Angels on Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Warren made 14 appearances for the Angels last season, recording a 5.63 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in that time. However, a perfect 0.00 ERA in Triple-A over seven frames to start the year offers optimism for more success this time around.

APRIL 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shifted to minors camp The Angels reassigned Warren to minor-league camp Friday.

Impact Warren struggled last season with the Angels, logging a 5.63 ERA and 1.50 WHIP, and it cost him his spot on the 40-man roster. His spring numbers were much better, however -- a promising sign that the 27-year-old reliever might perform well enough at Triple-A to reclaim his spot on the 40-man and eventually return to Los Angeles.

MARCH 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to open campaign in minors Warren could possibly make the Angels' Opening Day roster, but he's more likely to begin the campaign in the minors, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Warren has pitched well this spring, posting a 2.25 ERA and 9:0 K:BB over eight innings. However, he lost his spot on the team's 40-man roster in January, which may hinder his ability to break camp with the club this year. Warren struggled with a 5.63 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 16 frames in the majors last season, but he was excellent as a rookie in 2021, recording a 1.77 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 20:5 K:BB over 20.1 innings.

MARCH 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Outrighted to Triple-A Warren cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake by the Angels on Friday.

Impact Warren holds a 3.47 ERA over 30 appearances across the last two seasons for the Halos. He'll represent relief depth for them in the minors.

JANUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

DFA'd by Halos The Angels designated Warren for assignment on Monday.

Impact Warren serves as the Angels' roster casualty after the club signed Brett Phillips to a one-year deal Monday. The 26-year-old reliever gave up 10 earned runs over 16 innings in the majors last season. Warren had better luck in Triple-A, however, recording an impressive 2.12 ERA and 1.18 WHIP through 34 frames. He's likely to catch on with another team searching for some depth in the back-end of their bullpen.
